I used Hextech Grinding to become a top student

Not only did it alarm the principal, but the two teachers also seemed to have been implicated because of it.

I am deeply sorry, I will do it again next time.

Chen Mu had just pulled up his pants and returned to the classroom when he was called over by the homeroom teacher.

"Chen Mu, go to the principal's office for a moment," the homeroom teacher said.

Chen Mu once again became the focus of the entire class.

The principal requests your presence?

This is truly a rare occurrence. Principals usually oversee the entire process, and in all these years, I've never seen a student summoned by the principal for a private meeting.

The class was abuzz with discussion again, with everyone speculating what could have prompted the principal to call them in. Could it be because they got a perfect score on the math test?

At this point, at least no one in the class suspected Chen Mu of cheating anymore. The top student from the neighboring Class Zero came over to recite, so cheating was simply impossible.

In addition, Chen Mu has been able to answer the math teacher's questions in class recently, so this score can basically be considered genuine.

But it's not necessarily true that good grades will guarantee a summons from the principal.

Chen Mu arrived at the principal's office, knocked on the door, and entered the office after receiving permission.

The principal looked up and thought to himself, "Something's not right: a student with this kind of hairstyle and such good looks, could he be a top student?"

Shouldn't this be a typical example of someone getting caught while dating?

"Principal, you wanted to see me?" Chen Mu asked.

"Yes, Chen Mu, right? Come and sit down!" Principal Li said.

Chen Mu carefully sat down, and the other person poured him a glass of water.

This was even more flattering. It wasn't the first time I'd met the principal, but it was definitely the first time I'd met him face to face.

"Chen Mu, I've heard a lot about your situation from your homeroom teacher. Well, I'm very curious, with such good grades, why have you kept a low profile for so many years?"

She entered the class with the highest score, but in less than a semester, she dropped to the bottom few places. Now she has suddenly made such a big improvement. There must be a reason for this that we don't know.

This is our school's fault for not recognizing your talent and hard work. We are very sorry. If you have any difficulties or situations, you can tell me, and perhaps the school can help you.

You should know that you ranked first in the entire school in three subjects. If you can catch up in the other subjects, you have a real chance of being admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University.

"If it's an ALS problem, I think you need to study even harder and make the most of your short life," the principal said earnestly.

Chen Mu's eyes darted around. "Principal, I'm going to lie!"

Of course, I can't tell the truth. I can't just say, "I suddenly had an epiphany," can I?

Chen Mu considered for a moment and said, "Thank you for the school's concern. Actually, I have always been studying hard, but because of ALS, my family has spent a lot of money. So, starting from the first year of high school, I often went to internet cafes. At first, I played games, then I worked as a gamer, and then I even tried writing online novels."

"Power leveling? What's that?" the principal asked curiously. He knew about online novels; in previous years, teachers often confiscated a lot of thick books, but now they've changed to mobile phones.

"It's about helping others play games and charging a certain fee. This way, I can earn some money for my family during high school and ease the burden on them."

"Then, for the exams, I deliberately wrote random answers, hoping to become a bad student so that no one would bother me if I sneaked out to internet cafes at night or slept in class," Chen Mu explained.

The principal was somewhat moved. Was this child really so sensible?

The story of deliberately becoming a bad student just to ease the burden on one's family is worthy of being featured on "Touching China."

"Huh? You're confused. How much can you earn a month as a game booster?"

"If you get into Tsinghua or Peking University, what a bright future that would be!" the principal said, sounding somewhat disappointed.

"Twenty thousand a month," Chen Mu said.

The principal was just about to take a sip of water when he almost spat it out.

Twenty thousand? Is that a lot?

Of course not. Chen Mu is already lying. He did do it, but he didn't earn much. The novel flopped, and the days of game boosting are numbered. He could only work as a slave and earn a meager living. The difference between 20,000 and 20,000 was minimal, just a tiny fraction!

However, when you're traveling, you give yourself your own identity.

Only by exaggerating the amount of money can we cooperate with the following plans.

Clearly, the principal has lost his temper.

His desire to be admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University made him lose his mind.

After listening to Chen Mu's words, he pondered for a long time.

The principal said, "You shouldn't go to this game boosting service anymore. You can earn 20,000 a month, right? How about the school lends you 20,000 every month? You just need to study hard and pay it back in the future."

At the same time, I assure you that if your academic performance improves to the point where you're admitted to Tsinghua or Peking University, you won't have to pay back a single penny of this money; it will be a scholarship from the school!

For a school, a mere tens of thousands of yuan is indeed nothing.

Especially a good student who can bring fame to the school is even more worthwhile to invest in.

What are some of the school's special sources of income?

The core part is the so-called school selection fee, which means that some children who are not academically outstanding and did not get into the high school can be admitted through special admission if you pay some gold coins.

This alone costs a lot of money; a small score difference can amount to several thousand yuan, while a large score difference can easily cost tens of thousands.

Moreover, this is because the county's top high school is too bad. In the city, even if you want to pay a selection fee, you have to have good grades. If your grades are too bad, they won't let you in, so as not to affect the school's college entrance rate.

Therefore, many schools are willing to invest money in good students, providing a whole host of benefits such as free accommodation, free meals, scholarships, and so on.

As for the county's No. 1 High School, it urgently needs students from Tsinghua and Peking Universities to enhance its reputation. The cost over three months is only 60,000 yuan. If he can get into Tsinghua or Peking University, the principal can afford to pay for it all himself.

Upon hearing this, Chen Mu felt that the principal was exactly what he wanted; he didn't even need to say anything further, and the money was already in place.

"I am so grateful to the school. I will never forget your kindness. I will definitely study hard and strive to get into Tsinghua or Peking University!" Chen Mu said.

"This isn't for the school, it's for your own future. You spend all your time playing games at internet cafes and you still get these grades. If you studied seriously, your achievements would be unimaginable," the principal encouraged.

Chen Mu nodded repeatedly, then took out the QR code for receiving payments.

"Would you prefer to scan a QR code or use a bank card? Cash is also acceptable," Chen Mu said with a smile.

"....."

Chen Mu was in a great mood after receiving the money.

Ready to start forging!

At the same time, the question of whether or not to add the remaining three courses, which we had been considering before, has also been clearly answered.

Isn't it obvious that this will come in handy? With a high total score, you can get it for free!

The ancients were right: "There are houses of gold in books!"

As for whether there is a beautiful woman like Yan Ruyu, we'll have to wait and see after we finish learning.

System, begin forging!

Chen Mu silently chanted in his heart, and then the long-lost body-forging fragments reappeared before his eyes!
